diagram that provides history of metallurgy
ellingham
pyrometallurgy
heat in the presence of a reducing agent
smelting
heat metal ore in the presence of a reducing agent
negative delta H is (endothermic/exothermic)
exothermic
freezing of liquid water had negative/positive delta H
negative
dG is equal to ? and ?
dH-TdS and -nFE
compound in an oxidation-reduction reaction that donates an electron to another species
reducing agent
compound in an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction that accepts an electron from another species
oxidizing agent
earliest metal reduced from its oxide to form pure metal
Cu
Common copper usually appears as an oxide/sulfide
sulfide
process involving gas–solid reactions at elevated temperatures with the goal of purifying the metal component
roasting
copper sulfide converted to copper oxide via ?
roasting
copper sulfide purified as early as ?. Required temps of ?.
4000BC, 100C
Iron and other metal oxides required higher temps of about ? to reduce. Possible around ?BC (iron age)
1000
Magnesium is a 20th century metal despite one of its reactions being reduction by ?
carbon
magnesium reduction requires high temperatures only obtainable with a ?
modern blast furnace, electrothermal
ellingham plots ? (x-axis) vs ?
Temp vs deltaG
a kink in an ellingham diagram indicates ?
a phase change
large negative slope in ellingham diagram is indicative of ?
an increase in moles of gas
2 general mechanisms of electron transfer reactions
outer sphere, inner sphere
Outer sphere electron transfer mechanism
1) interacting species come in close proximity 2) e- transfers when the two complexes geometries allow the transfer to occur adiabatically
adiabatically
without further change in energy
Inner sphere electron transfer mechanism
1) ligand capable of binding simultaneously to two metal ions of one complex bridges to metal center of 2nd complex 2) one ligand is replaced by bridging ligand and bridging ligand transfers to 2nd complex
latimer diagrams are also known as ?
potential diagrams
purpose of latimer diagrams
obtain potential data for non adjacent species
balance reaction in acidic conditions
1) balance moles of non hydrogen and oxygen species 2) add water to product to balance oxygens
3) add hydrogen to reactants to balance hydrogens 4) balance charge with electrons
balance reaction in basic conditions
same as acidic plus 1) add same number of OH to reactants as there are H 2) cancel out water molecules from each side
Calculate standard electrode potential of two non adjacent species
1) convert electrode potentials of reactions bridging two non adjacent species to dG using dG=-nFE 2) Sum bridging reactions taking into account molar ratio with net reaction 3) Convert to electode potential with same formula
non adjacent electrode potential formula
[an(1)E(1)+bn(2)E(2)]/[n(x)]
disproportionation
redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidized to form two different products
opposite of disproportionation
conproportionation
